Hi,

I am trying to disable the audit log, but i can't find the option in the config file, it would be nice to be able to turn that off.

Research direction
Look at the configuration file parsing logic, typically in `server/lib/initializers/` or similar, to understand how existing config options are defined. Add a new boolean option like `audit log.enabled` to the production config template (`config/production.yaml.example`) and the corresponding validation in the config schema. Then implement the logic to conditionally skip audit log writing in the relevant middleware or service, e.g., `server/lib/audit logger.ts`. Ensure the change is backward compatible (default to enabled).
